Member Info for PerArduaAdAstra

Hiya, Fred. I hope you have a great time. I’m sure him indoors has provided you with all the info you need, however, the one thing I’d underline is simply that you should eat the food the locals do. As soon as you start wandering ‘off-piste’ so to speak, and ask for their interpretation of ‘western food’, that’s when you’re setting yourself up for trouble.

Soak up that culture shock as you first get there. India is magnificent and I hope you bring back some wonderful memories.

Happy trails,

Sounds like you had a cracking time, Myo. Lucky you. Particularly enamoured with your decision to go EV though. I bet you were feeling well-chuffed saving that £200 on diesel!

Hiya, Fred. Hope you’re well - and thanks for thoughts. As irritating as it might be at times, I can handle “being picked on”. They wouldn’t focus on me so much if they didn’t think what I had had to say didn’t threaten their own view somehow. Does make me wonder sometimes, however, why — simply because I voted for us to stay in the E.U., that somehow makes me a poster boy or apologist for everything it does.

Good morning, Myo. Yes, I do look in here. And to be honest, I’m starting to think that perhaps I should make it the only place I bother looking in on. The main board is becoming something of a joke imo. As much as I don’t care for the ignorance and bigotry of the SL/LL construct, and Alan’s myopic approach to anything other than his own singular point of view does grate, I do respect their right to an opinion as long as it is not deliberately offensive or inciting prejudice. I am becoming increasingly fed up however with the pathetic, intolerant little tits on the main board who wish to censor anything and everything that they have no wish to read though. The most lamentable aspect being that they probably don’t even contribute to the community themselves other than to get their silly red crayon out to censor anything that doesn’t fit with their opinion of what is or, isn’t acceptable. No doubt they’d rather mine the board for anything of interest to themselves, without regard the views or opinions of anyone who might actually make the effort to contribute to the discussion. As such, I’m uncomfortable with them taking anything that I say they deem useful, whilst at the same time, being able to still my voice over anything they don’t. It’s just not British!

I think open minded discussion of the type that draws out considered opinions demands that we allow people to express themselves (within reason) without let or hindrance. A community functions best when people feel a part of it. And I’m getting increasingly intolerant of the intolerance being wielded almost daily next door. As I feel people should be at liberty to chat about anything, rather than ‘argue about Brexit’ is there a possibility this board could be renamed something like Sirius (or ANYTHING else)? Or something similar anyway? I might not bother with the main board at all then. And anyone posting or reading here, will know that they can do so without someone else telling them what they can or cannot discuss (within the law, of course!).

Sorry to hear about your friend, Stanley. I hope they got a chance to jump back in before it got away from them. A decision made in a panic more often than not serves us badly, and if your friend is a shareholder again I hope they take the time to sufficiently comfort themselves on the company and its direction of travel, rather than the transient nature of share price movements more than often exacerbated others making equally irrational panicked decisions.

On a lighter note... Brexshits going well innit? Didn’t see that coming at all!

Thanks for taking the time to reply, Stanley. I appreciate you getting back to me with your thoughts.

Me too. And exactly why I refuse to hide my condemnation of such ignorance away in some user generated box. I try to challenge prejudice, bigotry, xenophobia and less than subtle racism in all its forms whenever I see it. And will unapologetically continue to endeavour to do so.

As an aside, what makes the weekend’s discussion ‘off topic’ and so, unacceptable when the market is closed, yet, ‘off topic’ ‘where’s Myo’ (however appreciated he may be) intrigue apparently ok during trading hours? Just curious.
